Effects of women-sensitive, long-term residential treatment on psychological functioning of diverse populations of women.

A number of studies have found that women who abuse substances enter treatment with greater psychological problems and more vulnerabilities than men. This article reports on a 5-year study of clients in a comprehensive, residential drug treatment program for women and their children. Psychological assessments on 362 women included the Basic Personality Inventory (BPI), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and the Luria-Nebraska Neuropsychological Battery, Screening Test (LNNB-ST). Early in the course of treatment, the typical client tends to experience a great deal of distress, as evidenced by scores on the CES-D. Other assessments indicate she is relatively alienated, mistrustful of others, and resentful of rules imposed on her by others. Repeated assessments show that these psychological indicators improve significantly as the client progresses through the treatment program. Additional studies are needed to focus on long-term treatment outcomes of women in programs designed specifically for them.
